    This document describes four different types of igneous rocks: andesite, andesite porphyry, basalt, gabbro, and peridotite. It provides information on their crystal size, texture, color, density, composition, environment of formation, hardness, cleavage/fracture properties, specific gravity, luster, and streak. Andesite has a fine texture and forms from intrusive or volcanic activity. Basalt has a darker color than andesite, forms from volcanic activity, and has a hardness of 6-7. Gabbro forms intrusively, has larger crystal sizes than basalt, and has a specific gravity of 3.03. Peridotite contains high amounts
